Dramface Podcast Christmas Special 2024
The Chocolate Wan
Recorded at the last minute, edited by AI and cobbled together for a Christmas Day release - our gift to you - Gregor pulls in the Grail Girls to explore pairing whisky with chocolate.
Our other Christmas gifts to you include:
- Some amateur ASMR
- A discussion on our favourite branding
- Peat vs Smoke
- Jen’s Best Ever thing to pair with whisky
- Our drams of 2024
- Dialling up the IAAD to 11
In the end you’ll discover the idea for the the last part in our 'pairing trilogy’; although you’ll need to commit to veganism.
This was (mostly) edited by AI and as such isn’t as ‘tight’ as our usual edits. That said we hope you enjoy the upgrades in sound and video. As we had to get this out for Christmas, this wasn’t released early to members - everyone gets it on Christmas Day. That said - a huge thank you to our members, Dramface wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you for your support!

Hot Drams & Hot Takes Recorded a wee while back, before our editor got distracted, the team tabled discussions around those high ABV drams and those that betray how potent they are. They also talked about how drinkable some can be, despite lofty alcohol strengths. Thereafter, their 'hot takes' get pretty edgy, covering wild flavour hooks, adding water (or not!) and considering the very definiti...

500 Reviews & 500 More (The Video One) This is not a response to The Dramface Colonials Podcast.* To celebrate Dramface reaching its 1,000 reviews milestone we thought it'd be a good idea to attempt a video edit this time around.

The Colonials are serious. Not only have they submitted their second episode within a remarkably prompt time window, there’s another hot on the heels of this. Good news if you enjoy it, we suppose. Anyway, Gregor has suggested that, given the difficulties in scheduling, it’s acceptable to proffer the ‘B-team’ now and again. All the while he’s readied his response, and he’s promising power-ups. ...

It’s terrifying what happens while you sleep. With the regular podcast team struggling to get time around a mic, despite genuine efforts, a vacuum has appeared. No podcast episode has been recorded or released since early August. Into this vacuum, we suppose inevitably, a group of Dramface team members have stepped, under well-meaning , auspicious intentions. Claiming it’s all about timezones a...

New Kids on the Block. New is the topic for this session. New distilleries, sure, but also new whiskies, new make and even how the word ‘new’ should actually be pronounced. We cover environment and time and also wonder why Gordon can’t taste effervescence. Yet.

The Whisky Roads Less Travelled. An eclectic discussion around trips and travels in the pursuit of whisky. Gordon shares tales of sailing to Campbeltown while Roy heads there for the festival. All the while we share takes on dog training, island life and mixing our whiskies.

To Buy Or Not To Buy As the team find it more and more difficult to successfully find an evening where they’re all available, we’re eeking things out. We know we could do with sharing more of these, we hope you’ll accept some rather than none. We will try harder though, we really do enjoy it.. In this session we witness Roy’s red-faced inability to find the mute button as he lets his inner demo...

New faces and voices. And new games. Of course there’s a huge apology due on this one because it was recorded way back after the Easter break. This means it’s the longest to-edit Dramface podcast yet. However, that record will only stand for a week or so, since we recorded Twenty Eight at the same time and it’s still being edited now. We hope it’s worth the wait. With the help of the amazing Gu...

The Dramface Strikes Back. Again. Covering all the topics we didn’t get to during Podcast Twenty Five, Gregor asks the teams for some “drams of note” that we’ve encountered since we wrapped season two. From there we wander into The Jura Problem, the delightful surprises of the Dramface Top 40 and the sadness at the loss of Malt Review, before rounding off with another community-sourced IAAD. Th...

The Dramface Strikes Back. Self indulgence. Well, a little self-indulgent. But these are mostly always just us hanging out and talking whisky and our own whisky lives, so they’re always a little indulgent. You don’t seem to mind. We finally got to grips with where all the buttons were and hit record in time to hear some impromptu McWee karaoke before getting right into an XXL version of what wa...

On the way there we enjoy Jen’s recipe for Jalapeño syrup, tales form Rachel about how the 1700’s propaganda blight...

Noobs Attempt Whisky and Cheese. The team try their best to gather similar whiskies and similar cheese, but of course don’t quite get it right. Scatter-gunning the pairings, they work out there’s an art to things and while some pairings hit, others miss. Hard. This is a self-indulgent podcast but we hope you find it as laid back and easy as we did recording it; a relaxed Friday night in, late-n...

The Twenty wan before the cheesy wan. The prospect of cheese made some of us nervous. It’s not a secret that these sessions are recorded in twos. This session is the one before the cheese pairing and most of us were already sat in front of cheese boards. Gregor insisted we wait. Therefore, this was recorded with the stench of all sorts of cheeses filling the air, and we couldn’t eat ‘em. That’s...
Good show, very enjoyable Season Greetings to all. 70% plain choc paired with Port Charlote and Deanston 12. Very good.
What an amazing Christmas present from the Dramface Podcast! Thanks for bringing back the Grail Girls and thanks to Rachel and Jen for coming back. (And Gregor wins understatement of 2024: "This should be a fun episode." Maybe. 🤣🤣🤣)
We’d love your feedback on this episode, especially around the editing/end product. Ai could well lighten the load on our poor wee editor trainee…
Loved this Podcast guys. Loved seeing the Grail gals. Merry christmas all :) Slainte
The Oban Chocolate Factory does an amazing selection of vegan chocolates. Oban is nearer to Glasgow (and almost everywhere in Europe), than Campbeltown, although I haven't tried their vegan chocolates so... 🥰
Great podcast! Congrats to Jen for taking out I am a Distillery. Will have to try hot chips with Ledaig 10 at some point. All the best for 2025! Cheers! 🥃
Nice one! However at times I was wondering, "where did the chocolate pairing go" 😄
Isle of mull cheddar and Ardbeg 10. Brilliant combo.
Woke up to this video podcast on my feed. An unexpected Christmas present. 🎁. Thanks to the Dramface & Grail team!
This is a great Christmas gift. Cheers
Fantastic podcast! Merry Christmas to the entire DRAMFACE team and the Grail Girls.
I'd totally feel ripped off with that Tony's Advent Calendar missing a chocolate 😅
And it’s 100% Dutch for sure 😂
To be fair there was one window with TWO chocs so alls well that ends well
Great podcast
Merry Christmas from the Highlands
What a great Xmas present. George [sic] you star. More Jen and Rachel too, please. Funtastic!
What a treat this is. Thanks Dramface crew! Merry Christmas!
you guys are dicks... LOL -
53:24 Nooooooo! Lol Romantic Roy. And then 1:03:10. I need a pee. Classic. 😂
Also playing "I'm a Distillery" with Roy is painful to watch.
Really one of the best Dramface podcasts ever. Mr. Duff truly exposes himself as the man who loves whisky. Of course, I disagree with him often, but we do always agree that whisky is just the best.
May I just say that I love that Gordon guy. He is completely bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Wonderful stuff guy's. A little ECBP geekery, 2017, was the first year of the current branding. I brought a C917 with me to Scotland in May 2022 to pour for everyone I encountered. It was opened at the Bon Accord with Roy and Ben (Whisky with Molly) and the last of it was left with Mandy at the Curly Coo in Stirling at around 1 am 😊.
Watching this did get me thinking what was the highest ABV on my shelf. Like Gregor my strongest stuff is American and I thought it would be the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Strength I have at 64.5 which was an Amazon bargain at £45. Actually turned out to be marginally beaten by a Blantons Straight From the Barrel at 66.25%. I know there has been an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof over 70% and that just seemed silly. Highest Scotch I have is a Bruichladdich Valinch at 62%.
Hot countries “ageing” their whisky faster. Well, like cooking you get very different results from pan-frying & from a slow roast or a stew. The slower the more flavour?
LOVE this analogy - Im stealing it. ;)
Boys. You are looking at whisky in 2D. Let me show you the 3D side of whisky.... the vision of whisky is from a view of cultural and religious point of view. Whisky is the devil in a bottle. Whisky is poison in a bottle. Whisky is the moment of time. Well for me, it's a story in a bottle. The passion and hard work of the people that bottled it can never be told and understood. We can only imagine a day of the man living on Islay who woke up at 6am to go to work at port ellen for 7am for 30 years to then be told the whisky maket is declining and the factory is being closed. On his way home is plans how he will share this sadness with his wife and kids. He wonders what the future holds for him. He moves to mainland to find a job doing something new, something he doesn't want to do, but it pays the bills. Decades later the factory is opened to discover spectacular casks that have matured and the market is willing to pay stupid money for something that once cost £60. I love the history behind the devil that is resident in the bottle
Brilliant podcast in video Many more please 🥃
I'm enjoying this video format. This was a great episode on the abv. I'll be drinking some JD here soon now 😅
Really cool episode, quite a nice topic to touch on a lot of interesting whisky-geekery. ‘Hot’ whiskies for me are not so much purely related to ABV but describe drams that have an overarching ethanol note that i can’t get past. I’ve had a few like that and it’s not to do with age or strenght, some whiskies are just too ‘alcoholic’ in flavour. Enjoying high strength whiskies demand a bit of ‘technique’ that i reckon everyone needs to figure out for themselves
Well done guys!!!!
1 hr 18 min in-“I don’t know humility”😂. Roy’s awesome. That was great.
Thank you so much for this episode. Really don't know where to start with how much I enjoyed watching as each contributed such great pieces and Roy's poem at the end was such a fitting end 🙏
Even more enjoyable now I have had the pleasure meeting all of you. And what an eerie familiar Seve package😇 Slàinte mhath
@@peathead4450 What a great bunch of guys Frank including yourself ❤️
Great podcast as always Gents. My most potent whisky I’ve got at the moment is a sherry matured Ardlair at 65.5%..
Very promising with this new format of podcast where I get to watch it on my phone or tv. Top drawer. That EC tombstone is in my house.
Lads, can’t thank you enough for another video podcast; elevates the banter to epic proportions 👌 Keep up the great work - it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it 🤷♂️
The most memorable 'hot' whisky for me has been the Glenfarclas 105. It took years of sipping, to bring the bottle level down to oxygenate, shaking the bottle, leaving the lid off etc just to make it drinkable. It certainly got better. The highest ABV in my possession at the moment is Cordona (from NZ) @ 63.9% ABV, it's hot too. I think the first high ABV that was drinkable neat for me was Bookers Noe bourbon in low/mid 60's. . Roy's take on Diageo from 1:09:35 is absolutely spot on.
Lads I’m reaching out again to pay compliments to this format, loving dramface right now. Keep up the amazing content and kudos as I appreciate your all busy with family, friends, work commitments and other projects
i have a Heaven Hill 12 year old from Cadenheads 64.9% Take me to the moon and back
Another great podcast. Cheers boys. Slainte..
Honey Mustard Dot's are the most killer pretzels on planet earth.
Hot-take: Bruichladdich won the OSWAS People’s Choice because it’s more popular than Springbank, not as “one in the eye” to the moms process: PC 10 > SB10 Bruichladdich’s two 18yr expressions while expensive, were both straightforward to obtain. I’ve no idea what kind of Satanic bargain I’d need to strike or how much money I’d part with for the Springbank equivalent. Discuss.
Really like these multimedia podcasts. Some good hot takes to ponder over. I find once a whisky is over about 52-53% ABV I need to add water. I definitely couldn't handle drinking >60% whisky neat. I take my whisky, a small glass of water and a dropper with me to the couch and tinker around with it while watching TV. I think Roy should host the "I'm a distillery" next time. 😀 Cheers!
Loved this again. From Rob's mic prowess to Roy's 4/10 poem at the end, every minute... Well, ALMOST every minute was a delight. Great hot takes! Fair warning Roy, I'll be demanding a Haiku be read at the end of every vPub in perpetuity. Who's with me?!
Roy’s mike looks like he’s talking into a big black Dildo
Thanks again to go multimedia on this! Its just so much better that I think I'll just comment thanks every episode. Cheers!
The Jack Daniel's SBBP is a cracker. Under-appreciated among enthusiasts, though I must confess that I add a couple drops of water to bring out the aromas & flavors.
Hopefully you do the Scotland touring session soon!! Currently planning a Red Deer Whisky Club trip in October of 2025
Definitely works so well with video guys in relation to banter and engagement.
Interesting discussion of local supply across US, Australia, and Canada. I’d give our access in Massachusetts a 5, but ordering from a few UK retailers that have reasonable shipping bring my access up to 7 or 8. With the US or local markups, the online UK retail ex VAT with shipping frequently matches or bests our local price.
Interesting to hear the perspectives outside UK. However, we need to get Roy to ship you some tablet. I had it on a trip to Scotland last year. It is excellent and a great whisky tasting note reference.
